A law enforcement pursuit Wednesday  landed a  Coatesville woman in jail.

About 10:30 a.m., Indiana State Trooper Andrew Mattern was patrolling in eastern Clay County on US 40 and heard the Clay County Dispatch Center put out a dispatch in reference to a gray 2005 Ford truck that had just been stolen in Brazil. Trooper Mattern immediately observed a truck matching the description traveling eastbound on US 40 near Harmony Road. He attempted to conduct a traffic stop on the truck, however the female driver refused to stop and a pursuit ensued.

The truck continued traveling eastbound on US 40, reaching speeds as high as 110 mph, continuing for approximately eight miles. As the pursuit approached the Putnamville State Police Post, several troopers were waiting in the median in order to de-escalate the pursuit. Seeing the waiting troopers, the truck came to an abrupt stop and the pursuit ended without further incident. The female driver was immediately taken into custody.

The driver was then identified as Brandi L. DePew, 36, of Coatesville. Further investigation determined that DePew displayed signs of impairment. She was offered the opportunity to submit to a chemical test but refused. Depew was arrested and transported to the Clay County Justice Center by the Brazil City Police Department.

DePew is charged with Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated (refusal), Class A Misdemeanor; Reckless Driving, Class A Misdemeanor; Resisting Law Enforcement, Class A Misdemeanor; and Auto Theft, Class 6 Felony.

Several troopers of the Putnamville State Police Post and the Brazil City Police Department assisted.
